Remakes 100

*UPDATE* - The work is done, the list is complete - read it at Retro Remakes

You might have already seen this post on Tims Blog, or this post on Retro Remakes about the Big 100 I’m currently attempting to throw together.

Yes, its reactionary, yes the methodology is in all likelihood flawed, but the great thing about it is, the end result will be completely unfiltered, no editorial control whatsoever - whatever gets voted for, gets slung in the list. At the moment its sitting on around 350 games give or take a couple, with over 50 lists all compiled together.

Not bad for the first two days and only a couple of places asked at the moment - and yes, there’s currently an Indie game sitting comfortably in the number one spot, not Ocarina Of Time…and much to my joy, a shooter sitting pretty at number 10. So far, its proving my guess correct, that if you ask folks really what they like, then you get a complete mixed bag of games that are a mix of the predictable and the completely off the wall. And thats fucking brilliant.

But we need more votes, so I’m going to kick this around a few other places over the next week or so- if anyone wants to post it elsewhere and try and get more lists together then be my guest, because the more the merrier and the more it represents us lot - the ones they never ask to contribute to these polls.

I’m keeping a track of all the games as they come in, and building myself up to write out a blurb for each one - not going to be a small task but its gonna be worth it in the end, I reckon. Top 10’s to remakes100 AT gmail DOT com if you please, all comers welcome.

    Reactionary? No way.
